Why Safari is Now Better on a Mac
In a earlier post I expressed my frustration about not being able to access the menu items of the front-most application in Mac OSX. In Windows, this is very easy to do by hitting the Alt key and using the underlined letters to access the menu items that you want. The good thing about owning a Mac is that if you are patient enough, you will soon discover a quicker way to accomplish the same goal.

Today I found the PragMactic OS-Xer (clever name), which showed how you can access the menu items of the front-most application by using QuickSilver. A common gotcha on this hint is to make sure QuickSilver is making use of the advanced features option.

Update: After reading through the blog a bit more Ctrl+F2 is the equivalent (superior?) to the Alt key in Windows.

One thing good about the Alt key is that you don't have to press both keys at the same time unlike Ctrl-F2. You can press the Alt key and then press the other key, using just the one hand/finger.
